War On The Run : The Epic Story Of Robert Rogers And The Conquest Of America’s First Frontier

Attribution
John F. Ross
Publication Details
Book, Bantam Books, 2009
Description
Hailed as the father of today?s elite special forces, Robert Rogers was not only a wilderness warrior but North America?s first noteworthy playwright and authentic celebrity. Ross reconstructs the extraordinary achievements of this fearless and inspiring leader whose exploits in the early New England wilderness read like those of an action hero and whose innovative principles of unconventional warfare are still used today. The child of marginalized Scots-Irish immigrants, Robert Rogers learned to survive in New England?s dark and deadly forests, grasping, as did few others, that a new world required new forms of warfare.
